The Little Girl in Room 421 (creepy)

Great story, I worked at nursing home where we would hear jack in the box music on the overnite shifts..... the day aides never believed it till someone had to come in early or pick up an overnite shift.

I love creepy stories... This one was quite bittersweet, but at least the "little girl ghost" is happy now.

Spooky! I don't do spooky well , i hope I don't encounter a ghost. I do believe in them.

i'll be working at a nursing home

Hospice here, eek!

This is the reason I dislike overnight lol!

Not too long ago yet another book (by Stephen King, of course) titled "1408" was made into a movie. While reading your story it reminded of this movie and the hauntings that went on in that hotel room. I'm surprised how well you and your unit are able to make light of the situation; the laughs from your nurses and the thought that they've become accustomed and comfortable to working in or around room 421. If it were me, I'd probably be on the first train out of there, and I'm a 30 year old male. Although I'd try to stay calm in that sort of situation I would dread working there for a long period of time. Two thumbs up to you and your unit!

At the hospital where I did my clinicals there were allegedy two floors that had ghosts one was related to a speficic room and the other was related to an old surgery operatory (this ghost was I think a nurse). I was happy that I did not have any interactions with them but several nurses knew about them and some had even had personal interactions. It was kind of freaky.

thats really creepy .. specially during night shifts.

Nice story.. I also had creepy stories too during my night shifts.. It was when we found a foot mark at the weighing scale and on the floor behind it.. but there's no one out there and if there is, we could see lots of foot marks from the door to the weighing scale but what we saw is only at the weighing scale only.. Sounds creepy on us...

Several patients in room 7 on my unit reported seeing a little boy in or around their room. This was a few weeks apart and the patients did not know one another. It was noticed by a nurse who had the first patient and documented a "hallucination" and then saw my note a few weeks later saying a patient was hallucinating a little boy in the room. freaked her right out.Now we just expect that room 7 is haunted by a little boy.

I worked in a nursing home and as you may know at an SNF you are always on the run. A favorite patient of mine had left months before. One particular day as I was quickly walking through the hall, I thought I saw her walk out of one room into another. I took a second look because I was so happy that she may be visiting. She was not in the room that I saw her go into. The following day I was informed by my administrator that she had passed away the day before (the day I saw her). Never, ever believed in ghosts until I experienced this. Funny thing is that it didnt freak me out. It was actually heart warming that she made an appearance. Have not experienced anything like that since and that was sevreral years ago.
